Summary
Working in the Dental field is my passion, with a total of 30 years of experience I have been privileged to work with wonderful offices in every aspect from clinical, front desk, insurance, and management. The experience and knowledge I have attained throughout the years has truly made me an overall universal part of working and managing dental offices and all aspects that come with it. I believe to run a successful, organized, efficient office that provides the best quality care and experiences to patients depends on working together as a team, respect at all times, and to help wherever and whenever needed.
